Thanks to my dear hubby's birthday gift of a mixer two years ago, I have enjoyed making homemade bread. Here's the recipe I use (sometimes I substitute a few cups of white flour, if I'm feeling generous to my husband - he prefers some white flour in the mix).
Wheat bread
7 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup gluten
2 1/2 Tbsp. yeast
5 cups hot water (I use tap water turned up as hot as it goes)
2 Tbsp. salt
2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup honey
2 1/2 Tbsp. bottled lemon juice
4-5 cups more wheat flour (I use 4)
Mix together the flour, gluten, yeast, and hot water. Mix for 1-2 minutes. Cover and let stand for 10 min. Add salt, oil, honey, and lemon juice. Mix 1 min. Then add 4 cups more flour. Knead for 10 min. Let it stand to rise for 1 hour. Bake at 350 for approx. 45 min.
Note: My mixer has a very large bowl, so if you have a smaller bowl, you might want to half the recipe the first time you make it.
